NorthernExposure.jpg (106072 bytes)The 1st Annual Team Connexion Ladies Volleyball Classic is history, with Northern Exposure, a club team from Sudbury taking top honours in the Competitive Division. The team, shown in the accompanying photo, consists of: Kathy Sutton, Erin Sipe, Wendy Coutts, Christal Larocque, Andrea Sorcinelli, Melanie Dussiaume, Stacey Madigan and Krista Sorcinelli.

Northern Exposure finished the day undefeated when they downed ‘The Valley Girls” in two straight games in the finals. The Valley Girls had to go three very tough games to down “Anita Beer” in the semi-finals to qualify for the championship game.

“The Girls” edged out “The Renegades” to take the Recreation Division title.

A total of six teams took part in the one-day tournament which was sponsored by Sudbury Easton Connexion, the defending Northern Ontario Men’s ‘B’  Slo-Pitch Champions. The club will be competing at the ‘A’ Level during the 2001 season, playing against similarly ranked teams from Southern Ontario in preparation for a run at the Provincial ‘A’ championships in September. They have also qualified to compete in the National ‘B’ Championships which are being held in Niagara Falls during the long weekend in August.
